      If it comes down to drawing two cards in your control deck with your treasure coves or doubling your calendar, a true control mage will be able to withstand the urge to double.

    I’m not the kind of subscriber that likes to point every little mistake, but that last game was huge 😂
    - Discarding the Virtues (against a graveyard deck! - and having valid targets for the -3/-3)
    - Not doubling the Calendar (literally the wincon)
    - and overcommitting to the blast zone (if you’re gonna have to tap it again next turn anyway, why not put 1 less counter and double the calendar)
    I was literally screaming at the screen 🤣 I know you’re in a rush (for a very deserved vacation), but this deck deserves a new video

    If you untap 8 permanents each turn and double every turn, it will take you 6 turns to get there. It's very feasible, just not very fast.

      Also, doubling is not worth it on the early turns, but doubling later is a must. It grows exponentially.

    • @RationalEgoism
      @RationalEgoism Před 6 měsíci +3

      An aggro deck will probably kill you before the Calendar reaches 1000. A control deck will probably have a Farewell, Leyline Binding, Otawara, Boseiju, Void Rend...

      ​@@RationalEgoismdefinitely not a build around card more like an alt wincon for lols. If it works it works. With that said youre definitely better off playing this in a control deck where you COULD build around it and not get it blown up. Im sure you could put it in a midrange deck too just not as a 4x'r

    CGB your never gonna wi. With the calander if you dont double the counters on it as often as possible, i get that in most matches there are thinks that must be delt with, but if you have the open mana double the counters, MAKE them have the removal for the card.and btw for the math if you literally tap nothing else but the calander and the mana to double it it will get to 1000 counters in 8 turns thats worse case scenario with minimal tapping providing you double it every turn so every chance you get to double it you should take it if you have the extra mana

  • @stellatedhexahedron6985

    the trick to that calendar is that you don't win by untapping, you win by doubling; it could start with 15 counters on it instead of getting counters from untapping and essentially be the same card. if youre seriously on the calendar plan you want the 4mv innistrad teferi to untap it and use it again.

  • @ZeRedSpy

    Calendar is roughly an 8 turn win con assuming you start doubling it at 5+ counters. It’s just hard to dedicate the mana every turn for that; especially when you are dangling card draw in front of CGBs face. You know he can’t resist card draw

    Would definitely like to see a redo of the calendar. 2^10 = 1024 so it's a minimum 10 turn wincon if you double every turn. If it starts at 4+ counters from an initial untap, that drops to 8 turns. Control games can easily last longer than that. It's a much faster wincon than people realize
